Hi, I'm kind of a noob, so sorry if this is a dumb question.
I just installed the new Lollipop Fimware on my Z2, using Flashtool. Now I want to root the device, but reading through articles on XDA or XperiaBlog, they all said you need to use older firmware. So my question is, can you root the Z2 with Lollipop?
I'd be grateful for helpful answers.

Things needed:
PC, fastboot driver, know how to boot to bootloader(fastboot mode) and recovery mode
Now you can without having old kernel (not firmware)
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v10-t2974841 extract boot.img from the zip file.
Boot your phone to fastboot mode and in command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Go to recovery mode after restarting and then get UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and flash it via newly installed TWRP recovery.

Same here. I'm a noob wanting to learn how to root. But this went over my head :/
Would using PRF creator work? If you bundled the lollipop firmware with supersu.zip and flashed it would it give you lolipop with root? Because this is what i did to update to 4.4.4 with root. For anyone that doesnt know PRF creator is a program which combines 3 files which is are firmware of your choice, a superSU.zip and a recovery.zip. It combines them into a .zip that you can flash in recovery and have the firmware with superSU and a custom recovery on it.
I have a locked bootloader and mines rooted, do you want me to say how?
If its on lollipop, i would very much like to know how.
Isn't this the exact same answer as rooting 4.4.4?
Downgrade to 4.4.2
Root
Install recovery
Install rooted lollipop zip in recovery
If you don't understand this or the method posted above don't root. Also, if.you can't google things like fastboot to understand what it is don't root.

Bootloop
Everything was fine, till i tried superSU. Twrp flashed it fine, but then when i tried to reboot, the device got stuck in a bootloop.
wipe cache/delvik also didnt help.
I have a new z2, then unlocked the bootloader, and then got the Norway rom using xperifirm.
Norway rom installed fine. twrp installed fine. But i am facing a bootloop now that i have flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Anybody else face this issue?

try wiping just "Dalvik Cache" and restart again. I have also face similar strange issue when I was using FlashTool a couple of times.
If that doesn't work try normal wiping from TWRP and install firmware using FlashTool.

I'm no Android/Lollipop/Rooting expert but using an unlocked boot loader I was able to root Lollipop (23.1.A.0.690 ) easily using the kernel from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ot-stock-flashable-kernel-23-1-0-690-t3061816
My steps were:
1. Install Lollipop
2. fastboot flash boot boot.img (to install above mentioned kernel with TWRP recovery)
So far so good.
PS: To use fastboot you'll likely need the drivers from flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/index.php) and if on Win 8.1 you'll need to search for instructions on how to install unsigned drivers.

Is there root only for Baltic ROM? I am on Nordic and I want root is that possible?
I downgraded my Fire HD 6 to 4.5.3, rooted it using Kingroot and installed TWRP using Flashify (couldn't flash TWRP because the bootloader/fastboot was locked ("Failed:...locked hw")) . After rooting, I blocked OTA using the adb command lines.
Then I updated to the latest Fire OS using http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/upgrade-to-4-5-5-root-t3174449. After step 2A (flash the respective Amazon ROM 4.5.x update (the latest one? [so I tried 5.5.4)), I thought I was home free. But upon rebooting, I found root was gone. Not sure what I missed and when I missed it but that's not the point now. [Upon much reflection, it was probably not issuing the block OTA commands again, duh.]
Now, I have no recovery; TWRP is gone. Stock recovery is gone. I can't flash TWRP using fastboot because bootloader is still locked. Flashify needs root to work. Help greatly appreciated.
I tried to unbrick (even though it's not bricked but I'm at a loss as to how to get a recovery back on it) using Imma Wake's Linux but it just hangs on ./reader.sh . I'm really at a loss but it's not for not trying. I've got to reroot this thing cuz I hate hate hate amazon. Can't do it without a recovery. Well, really, is there no one who can help me?

Well, that's a damn good idea, bleak. I wish I thought of it.
So I tried using the python/cublock.py method. I'm on Windows 7 so I installed Python. I get the two codes, run cublock.py [XXX] [SSS] and I get a file called "unlock.img" but after that, it hangs when I run adb reboot bootloader / fastboot -i 0x1949 flash unlock unlock.signed. I tried fastboot -i 0x1949 flash unlock unlock.img cuz that's what the file is called but it just says "[WAITING FOR A DEVICE]" or something like that after both of those commands. I think it doesn't reboot into the bootloader after adb reboot bootloader ; it shuts down because there are no signs of it in the device manager.

Did you just reply to yourself? ???
I'm stuck in the same crappy situation
I'm in this situation too...
I'm no expert, but I think I know what happened. For whatever reason, TWRP doesn't play nice with 5.x bootloaders. 4.x is fine but 5.x is a no-go. I'm assuming that when you flashed TWRP you overwrote your stock recovery. This would have been fine, but the wording in the tutorial you were following is a bit misleading. When he said flash the 4.5.x update (the latest one) he meant the latest 4.5.x (eg 4.5.3, 4.5.4, etc) but not anything above 4.5.whatever. When you flashed 5.5.4 you updated the bootloaders to 5.x so TWRP no longer works and you've lost your stock recovery. Not sure what happened to your root though. It's possible it's still there and there's just not a manager app installed? Try installing Kingroot again and using its root check function to see. If it really is gone, then I have no idea how to fix it.

Ok so yes I am on cm 11 and i cannot boot into recovery but I can boot into fast boot using the adb commands so does this mean I can flash twrp using fast boot?
Also I have used kingo root and have now gained root access.

Good deal on the root. Yes, you should be able to flash TWRP using fastboot. You need to have the fastboot drivers installed and rename the recovery image to recovery.img. I believe the command is: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. now that you are rooted though, you can use Flashify to flash TWRP. Flashify would be the easiest and quickest solution. Flashfire might be another option, but I don't know if it would recognize the Kingo root.

Maybe try flashing a chainfire SuperSU.zip through flashing so that you can replace the kingo SU, then use the SuperSU app to clean up some of the kingo root remnants and have something recognizable when flashing TWRP. I have been doing a lot of Fire flashing work lately as I just used my warranty for a brick I replaced. Then, within a couple hours bricked the replacement due to me not turning off the OTA sufficiently while running 4.5.2 and used the Powerpoint45 technique (which worked brilliantly on the new Fire) and then stupidly lost root and had to revert back to 4.5.3. Needless to say, I have been reading and executing a lot of different actions. Currently, I'm on 4.5.3 with TWRP and finally getting the Google Play store to work.

Does it help if I say before all this happened I had installed fire os 5 from twrp but i didn't boot it right after I cleared cache and dalvik and then flashed cm11. When I then booted the cm11 the twrp dissapered. Does this mean that I would have to flash the fire os 4 bootloader or something since fire os 5 can't doesn't work with twrp cause I'm sooo lost right now and would just love to get to any stable fire os.

Look at the TWRP thread for our Fire. I think it has the dd commands to install the recovery now that you are rooted once again. It sounds like you didn't install the 5.x.x uboot and recovery zip along with the update and lost recovery. I think you said you used the unbrick method and you just hung on the reading.sh. that method would give you TWRP and nothing else, but from there you could them flash the 5.x files in the thread. I used Flashify to get TWRP yesterday, and I think I had kingroot at the time. I know the is a zip only containing the 4.5.3 bootloader's, but I can't remember where I saw it right now, and if it would work or not. I'm still in learning more as well.

Hi the process should be fairly simple. Use the tutorial from the unbricking thread to get your device back to normal. It will be long but it works unless you have fire os 5(like me). Otherwise there's literally no other option you can use

Did you download the correct file? Check again
Since there's no thread about it yet (in here then), I'll just make this one so that there won't be any more confusion for TWRP links.
Do keep in mind that if you use the official bootloader unlock method, you won't receive OTA updates anymore from Asus.
Have a great day and happy flashing

Since there's no thread about it yet (in here then), I'll just make this one so that there won't be any more confusion for TWRP links.
Do keep in mind that if you use the official bootloader unlock method, you won't receive OTA updates anymore from Asus.
Have a great day and happy flashing

Can someone help me? I can't find the correct version (or doesn't even exist) of twrp for my zenfone zoom s.

Unlocking Bootloader1. Make sure you have a sim and active mobile data. Then go to about phone tap build number 7-8 times. After that go to advanced settings > developer options > turn on OEM unlocking and then check if this device is secure and click add account and device.
2. Download Mi unlock tool from here. Extract it and paste it in C:/unlock. or else your device won't be recognized for unlocking.
3. Open Mi unlock tool and then enter the Mi account which was on your device. Put your device in fastboot mode by pressing vol- and power and then connect to PC. Press unlock and if it tells you to wait you have no other option but to wait. If your mi flash tool shows connect your device even after you have connected it. Follow this guide here.
4. After you have unlocked your bootloader reboot your phone.
Flashing TWRP and Rooting via magisk
1. Download this TWRP image here. Thanks to the original developer mauronofrio.
2. Download adb and fastboot tools here and install it.
3. Now put your phone in fastboot mode and connect it with your pc. Now where you have downloaded the TWRP file rename it to TWRP.img and open a CMD window there if you don't know how just google.
4. Type the following commands
1. fastboot devices
2. fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
3. fastboot reboot recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Your phone will boot into TWRP now. But TWRP will be overwritten by stock miui recovery to stop that you need to flash Magisk. Download this zip move it to internal storage then flash by tapping on install and swipe to flash. Reboot your device. Reboot to recovery again to check if TWRP is present.
Now your device is rooted
OR
Flash latest OrangeFox Recovery if you don't want magisk.
Flashing A rom
1. Download.
2. Flash.
3 Format Data.
Done
Feel free to ask any questions. And don't point a finger at me for messing your device.

Flashing a custom rom is optional. You don't NEED to flash a rom to get TWRP...
---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------
I've unlocked the bootloader using the unlock tool and waited for 7 days,
But i rooted the device using a different method where i patched a boot.img and flashed that to the device.
Will this method still work for me as I'm already rooted but just want TWRP so i can flash other ROMs.. The post says you have to flash magisk from the (temporary) TWRP for the TWRP to stay as the recovery..
Will the magisk on my phone and the magisk installed here collide?
I just want TWRP so i can switch to a custom rom, so any input is appreciated!!

Skip the flashing a rom part and you will be good to go.

You can flash twrp and then check if it persists. If not flash magisk again their is no thing as magisk colliding lol. Just make sure you flash a newer version. And if nothing works flash stock rom and then twrp.
If you have the stock boot IMG flash it and then intsall twrp and magisk.

Haha, makes sense! Thank you for your answers
Nevermind.. i got it to work pretty easily..
I have twrp on this device and Pixel Experience ROM and it's working all fine..
But there's this one thing where when booting to recovery, it asks me to input a password for User(0) when i try to input anything it says password failed..
From reading the log, it says it's for decrypting data(8f I'm not mistaken)
Is this important? Do i need to decrypt it?
Currently the ROM works fine with no errors, so I'm not gonna bother, but would still like to know what this "decrypting" thing is..

Yes, If you use a lock screen enter that password it will be decrypted. You will have to format data if you decide to flash any other rom anyway.

Hey buddy, thank you for this quick step-by-step guide. I flash ROMs since 2012 and you know what? It helped me the same. Having all stuff needed for go from stock to custom concentrated in one place (plus some useful tip like the Magisk flash at the end) it's always useful and time-saving. Thank you
2 Micro-notes about fastboot btw:
- write 'fastboot (with lowered 'f'): it may confuse some newbie
- it's 'reboot' instead of 'boot'
I want to access /data/system/users//settings_ssaid.xml to know what my game unique id is.
But after some research i learned that i have to root to able to get there but i have almost zero knowledge about it.
Are there any guide to root Redmi Note 10 from the scratch? Thanks.

Hi, I'm on official global ROM 12.5.3.0 RKGMIXM
And i turned on OEM Unlocking in developer mode yesterday (Which is confuse me a little a guide said i have to wait for 7 days for this but mine is nothing it's just switched to on)
OEM Unlocking is only one of the steps, but it does not unlock the bootloader. File a request with Xiaomi.
unlock bootloader
i recommend only booting to twrp, not flashing it
flash magisk 23
hide magisk

Why do you recommend to only booting to TWRP instead of flashing it?

because the twrp developer instruction is to booting , not flashing

Aside of that instruction, actually is it 'dangerous' if we install the TWRP? What 'bad things' would/may happen if we install it? (Because I see some guides about installing it on RN10, like this one for example, and I was almost followed that guide).
Risk of bootloop

Risk of bootloop and fastboot loop... because this twrp is modded to be booted and then flashed (you can found the option in advanced)
One time i faced a fastboot loop once i flashed directly the twrp , that's why i recommend booting it first and then , flashing

Yes, I mean that, (booting it first then flashing,.. (the TWRP right?).. I think the guide (which the youtube link I attached above) is also told to do that, right? (Or do I misunderstand this?)

Please confirm these;
*So we can:
Use TWRP only temporarily, only to root the phone (by flashing Magisk v23),
and then,
back to using the stock recovery on our RN10 afterward,
even if the RN10 is already rooted?
**If the answer for my question above is yes, then (in RN10 condition of Unlocked Boot Loader, Rooted, Stock MIUI & Stock Recovery) ;
Would we still get official OTA Update from Xiaomi (and can download and install the update- as how it's like before rooting the phone)?
Thank you in advance
It's an unnecessarily complicated procedure. Just flash a modified boot.img for your Miui using fastboot from your PC. If you don't have the ability to modify the boot.img on another rooted phone yourself, request a modified boot.img with the exact update version of your Miui here.

Thanks again, (and maybe I will try your suggestion later).. but (sorry)... your reply doesn't answer my questions.
(I think my questions are very clear and probably very easy to be answered by someone who has experience/knowledge about it (like you?).. no?)
Forgive my nooby questions.
But I really want to know as much as I can (especially about the answer for some questions I have inside my head about the matter, like I asked above),.. before executing doing something about my phone.
oops... I'm sorry for double send
In the past I rooted Miui and then continued to get OTA updates. However, this cannot be confirmed for all versions of Miui. Each new update changes the phone software and so what worked before may not work today.

Hi, I'm unlocked my phone and installed the orange fox it's the custom recovery right? Because it say so.
If yes, By Flash Magisk ZIP how to do that? Please explain the detailed steps, Thanks.
First of all, I would like to point out that Magisk (root) is a security risk. Without understanding the issues, the phone is more easily exploitable.
To install, just download the magisk file with the ZIP extension. In recovery, select the install option and select this file. Once installed, exit recovery and boot the system. Once the system boots, use magisk and complete the installation it requests.

the answer above is right ... but i would suggest to flash Orange Fox zip and then Magisk zip... to avoid problems
isn't there decrypt.zip for RN10?
How to decrypt this phone?
I usually did that along with rooting with my android phones before this.
Edit:
Update:
It's ok now I understand how, after watching this video.
